Gestalt Practice
Gestalt Practice is a contemporary form of personal exploration and integration developed by Dick Price at the Esalen Institute.〔〔Goldman, Marion S. ''The American Soul Rush: Esalen and the Rise of Spiritual Privilege''. New York University Press (2012) p. 35〕〔"Foreword" ''Manual of Gestalt Practice in the tradition of Dick Price'' - The Gestalt Legacy Project (2009)〕 The objective of the practice is to become more fully aware of the process of living within a unified field of body, mind, relationship, earth and spirit.〔Kripal, Jeffrey. ''Esalen: America and the Religion of No Religion'', University of Chicago Press (2007) p.360; "Gestalt Practice" ''Manual of Gestalt Practice in the tradition of Dick Price'' - The Gestalt Legacy Project (2009)〕〔"Gestalt Practice exercise" in: Goldman, Marion S. ''The American Soul Rush: Esalen and the Rise of Spiritual Privilege''. New York University Press (2012) p. 176 et seq.〕
''Gestalt'' is a German word that denotes form, shape or configuration, and connotes wholeness. Practice is an ongoing program or process of development. Gestalt Practice is an ongoing process of integrating human awareness across a broad spectrum of consciousness.
Initially, Gestalt was used as a psychological term in Gestalt psychology. Then Fritz Perls, Laura Perls and Paul Goodman applied it to psychotherapy when they developed Gestalt therapy, upon which Gestalt Practice was partially based.〔Goldman, Marion S. ''The American Soul Rush: Esalen and the Rise of Spiritual Privilege''. New York University Press (2012) p. 35〕 Alan Watts, who was a mentor of Dick Price, suggested combining practices from the cultures of East and West.〔Watts, Alan. ''Psychotherapy East and West'', Ballantine Books, New York (1961)〕 The writings of Nyanaponika Thera〔Nyanaponika Thera. The Heart of Buddhist Meditation, Buddhist Publication Society, Sri Lanka (1954)〕 and the nearby presence of Zen Roshi Shunryu Suzuki〔Suzuki Roshi was abbot at the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, near Esalen Institute. Suzuki, S. ''Zen Mind, Beginners Mind'', Shambhala Publications (1971)〕 were sources of Buddhist meditation practice for Dick Price. Gestalt Practice was the term he used to describe his combination of these Eastern and Western traditions.〔(Professor Kripal's explanation of Gestalt Practice in Esalen: America and the Religion of No Religion )〕 This term distinguished the practice Dick Price taught from both Gestalt therapy and Buddhist practice.〔Kripal, Jeffrey. Esalen: America and the Religion of No Religion, University of Chicago Press (2007) p.172; "A History of Gestalt Practice" Manual of Gestalt Practice in the tradition of Dick Price - The Gestalt Legacy Project (2009)〕
==Practice, not therapy==
This form of awareness practice is different from Gestalt therapy,〔Anderson, Walter Truett. The Upstart Spring: Esalen and the American Awakening, Addison Wesley Publishing Company (1983, 2004)〕〔Perls, F., R. Hefferline, and P. Goodman. ''Gestalt Therapy: Excitement and Growth in the Human Personality'', Julian Press (1951); Perls, F. ''Gestalt Therapy Verbatim'', Real People Press (1969); Perls, F. ''The Gestalt Approach & Eye Witness to Therapy'', Bantam Books (1973)〕 because it is not a “cure” for psychological symptoms, and it relies upon the interaction between two equal partners,〔Goldman, Marion S. ''The American Soul Rush: Esalen and the Rise of Spiritual Privilege''. New York University Press (2012) p. 35〕 namely an "initiator" of awareness work and a "reflector," rather than a patient and a therapist. Some aspects of Gestalt Practice are derived from the theory of Gestalt therapy. However, as Dick Price conceived of Gestalt Practice, if a "patient" wants to do Gestalt work with a "therapist" then they belong in Gestalt therapy.〔"The Only Way Out Is In: The Life Of Richard Price by Barclay James Erickson", in Kripal, Jefffey and Glenn W. Shuck (editors). ''On The Edge Of The Future: Esalen And The Evolution Of American Culture'', Indiana University Press (2005) p.157-8〕〔Polster, E. & Polster, M. ''Gestalt Therapy Integrated: Contours of theory and practice''. New York, NY: Brunner-Mazel (1973)〕 In keeping with this approach, eclectic techniques of meditation, physical exercise, environmentalism, contemplation and spiritual practice are incorporated into Gestalt Practice,〔 "Meditation and Buddhism" Manual of Gestalt Practice in the tradition of Dick Price - The Gestalt Legacy Project (2009)〕 along with some typical Gestalt awareness experiments borrowed from the Gestalt therapy model.
